Hi Lee... If I hadn't of been in so much pain on Sunday and Tuesday we would have called in as we went passssed your s coz DH tends to go up that way towards Augusta Rd rather than from the city side but you were msot definitely in my thoughts being so clsoe to you.
My SIL who had her little boy on Aug 22 at HPH is also clucky and seeing my belly she wants another one, #4 to round it out. She has 3 boys so far, 8, 3 and 5 mths.
I can't even drive down down to say hi now coz I am no longer allowed to drive Drs don't want me driving due to the acute cramp I get in my legs and feet and the back spasms I get that twist me up. I did however manage t make it all day without any valium at all until 8pm. After walking around eastlands to grab a few grocereis and then being in the car to come home from MIL who had samuel for us.... ouchies.
Rozzie you are brave to be still working. To think though that after reading some of the birth stories in P&B and M&B our babies could appear from any moment onwards.... my bag is mostly packed now. dressing gown, nighties, undies, maternity bras, nursrign pads, sanitary pads and toileteries bag.
so tired here but had the msot awful ramp inmy leg which would not release. So I have had a banana and a glass of freeezing cold milk. now back to bed,
big hi to everyone
Tildy - Glad you are doing well (except for the sock thing
angelicdragon - Hope you are feeling better. Take care of yourself and your gorgeous bub.
Kath26 - welcome. So sorry to hear of your loss. Good luck on your journey.
AngelLukesMum - I am having my scan on Monday!!! I am 8 weeks today and I can't wait. Seeing bub for the first time makes it all "real" I am so excited!!!! Any test results yet?
I am doing fine. Still have this cold and starting to get more m/s but I don't mind as it makes me remember our dream has come true! Have a great weekend!!!
Hi Ladies
Zachary's Mum - Goodluck for tomorrow's scan! Will be thinking of you!
How's everyone else doing?
We had our antenatal class from 9 to 3 yesterday and I am totally wrecked today. It was so much harder than I had prepared myself for. We were the oldest couple there by YEARS and we were the last to do the 'introductions' and everyone else had shared their life stories so I felt compelled to share that this is our 7th Pregnancy and like everyone else in the room, will be our first 'baby'...well there was a sudden intake of oxygen in the room and the midwife congratulated us in a kind of 'brushing over / moving on' kind of a way...whatever!@?! And then they bought in a newborn and I felt like I'd been 'beemed up' sooooo surreal...it was a very bizarre day...think I have a bit of work to do on the emotional front in the next few weeks...yep...about 2 and half weeks to go....thanks for listening ladies...just a big vent from me today...sorry!
Oh Ellie, you poor thing, you're very brave to share your experiences. I'm sorry the ladies and midwives were less than supportive. That makes me angry because I think that part of the reason pregnancy loss is so hard is because it's such a social taboo and it makes us feel so isolated. It should be out in the open because it happens all the time to so very many women. Brave women like you should be encouraged to share your experiences so that it can be easier to deal with.
We ended up cancelling our antenatal classes after having a similar experience at our VBAC class... seeing as we're having a C-section anyway it was a convenient excuse to avoid it! The midwife tried to talk Alec into us going anyway (he rung to cancel) but he said it was too uncomfortable last time. I'll be in hospital for plenty of time afterwards anyway so the midwives can teach us there I figure!!
Rozzie - I was going to cancel but got talked into going by the midwife. Didn't learn anything...but it did reinforce to both of us that we are really happy with having the elective c section....I know it's not for everyone and I respect that but for us it's what we're comfortable with. The class also made me realise that our decision to not have visitors at the hospital was a good one too! If I fall apart I don't want an audience! We're also not telling anyone the date just that I see the ob on the 23rd and bub will arrive sometime later that week...unless bub has other ideas! Your ticker seems to have moved quickly too...how are you feeling?
good, glad to hear we won't miss much!!! I'm feeling not too bad but have a mild case of SPD and sore feet. 2 more weeks of work, I am HANGING out to finish. Also the heat wave is meant to break tomorrow so thank god for that.
I was thinking of keeping the date of the op secret too, partly for the surprise factor for everyone else, also because it may change anyway (you never know) and also I don't want people ringing me the night before or whatever. I haven't mentioned it to DH, don't think he'd be that keen.
Ellie I hadn't even thought of the visitor thing but as thi sis baby #5 alive then I'll probably only have Robert and my dad come in every day and Roberts mum and dad may come in once. Even after a stillbirth the 'novelty' of a new baby wears off on family and freinds very quickly. I am anticiapting a very quiet relaxing hospital stay of the FULL 5 days thsi time. no going home early coz I know wht will be waiting for me at home. No rest. No time to relax. just busy busy.
No ante-natal classes here either coz each pg ha been differenet and each baby ha been differeent so I just go with the flow so to speak.
1:15am and I feel zonkered ou even though I havne't had any back pain releif for about 36 hrs but did my glass of cold milk. My indulgence of a midnight snack is freezing cold milk lol. No wonder I am bigger than any other pg and can't wear the same clothes I did with my other pgs.
Drs don't want me driving due to the acute cramp I get in my legs and feet and the back spasms I get that twist me up. I did however manage t make it all day without any valium at all until 8pm. After walking around eastlands to grab a few grocereis and then being in the car to come home from MIL who had samuel for us.... ouchies.
